With spring break just around the corner, many of our patients are coming into our med spas in Lexington and Louisville for nonsurgical treatments to get them ready for swimsuit season. In this post we’ll suggest some popular options that can help you get the body you want before you head to the beach.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive treatment for fat reduction. It uses precise cooling to eliminate fat cells without damaging other tissues. It can treat the abdomen, back, thighs, double chin, and flanks.

Because it doesn’t involve anesthesia or incisions, there is no downtime or recovery period required. The treatment only lasts about an hour so many patients come between classes or on their lunch breaks, then return to their normal daily routine immediately after.

Following treatment, your body will begin its natural process of breaking down and flushing out the fat cells. You will typically see your final results after about 2 to 4 months, so we recommend scheduling treatment soon if you want to be ready by spring.

truSculpt®

The truSculpt® procedure treats stubborn fat deposits and dimples using radiofrequency energy for noninvasive, painless body contouring. The process involves delivering radiofrequency energy to the subcutaneous fat which disrupts the fat cells and strengthens and thickens the skin—all while maintaining a comfortable skin temperature.

Like CoolSculpting, treatment lasts about an hour and you may return to all your daily activities—including the gym—immediately after the session.

A few weeks after treatment, patients notice smoother contours and fewer dimples over their abdomens, thighs, buttocks, and other areas. If you maintain a steady weight and continue living a healthy lifestyle, your trusculpt results can last indefinitely—spring break after spring break.

Cellfina

Cellfina is a minimally invasive treatment that improves the look of cellulite for up to 2 years. The treatment session only lasts about 45 minutes. It starts with application of a topical numbing cream followed by the use of a tiny microblade to release the fibrous connective bands that cause the dimpled appearance of cellulite.

After treatment, patients can continue doing errands and light activities. However, we recommend that you take it easy for the first 24 hours—it is not uncommon to have slight soreness. Patients begin to see improvements after about 3 days, so there’s still time to get smoother before your vacation.

BOTOX® and Dermal Fillers

A common misconception is that BOTOX® and dermal fillers are reserved for older patients. On the contrary, they can be a great way to rejuvenate and refresh the face at any age. As a student or young urban professional, stress and lack of sleep are the norm. This can accelerate the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and cause the appearance of fatigue.

BOTOX can treat fine lines and wrinkles, and also help prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place. We also offer dermal fillers including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, and Sculptra® Aesthetic. These fillers can provide volume to the face and lips and reduce signs of premature aging.

It doesn’t take long to see the results from injectables and there is minimal recovery time. And even if you wait ’til the last minute to start shaping up for spring break, these treatments will ensure that your face has a healthy glow even before you hit the beach.

You can also choose between two body treatments. Calospa offers a detoxifying/cellulite wrap and a body polish. Both are great treatments to gear your body up for spring.

What you can expect during your 50 minute body polish.

A body polish is an exfoliating treatment to eliminate dead skin from the body. The treatment is applied by hand while lying on a heated table. Your therapist will use a light but vigorous technique to scrub each area gently. The cleansing body polish is a blend of soothing green tea and stimulating lemongrass. While relaxing through your service the room is filled with an intoxicating scent that is impossible to ignore. After your therapist has finished both sides of your body, you will then rinse away the polish in a warm shower. After you shower your skin will feel like new and your skin is now ready to be hydrated. A rich body soufflé is massaged softly into the skin. The service leaves you feeling refreshed and your skin glowing.

What you can expect during your detoxifying body wrap.

This treatment is designed to help eliminate toxins from your body by stimulating your lymphatic system. Because your lymphatic system is targeted this wrap is also great for cellulite. We recommend a series of 4 to 6 appointments if you are using it as a cellulite treatment. The treatments are done no less than 4 days apart and no more than 7 days apart. Your therapist will begin the service with a stimulating exfoliation that is wiped away using a dry towel. Mlis Body Contour Cream is applied and you are then wrapped in plastic wrap for an hour. During that time you can simply relax or add a 30 minute hand foot and scalp massage to your service. Once your hour is completed the plastic is taken off. The contour cream should stay on your skin for another 4 to 6 hours after treatment to get the maximum benefits. Due to the detoxifying benefits this treatment is a great way to kickoff your spring cleanse. Drinking a lot of water before and after each treatment is important for maximum results.

Note: If you are losing weight it is recommended that you have a wrap for every 7 to 10 pounds lost to help with your skins elasticity.

One of the best accessories for spring is a strong, smooth and sexy body.

M’lis wrap helps rid the body of unwanted cellulite. This wrap was created by a Biochemist from UCLA originally formulated to help with stimulation of circulation and lymphatic flow for those suffering from Diabetes or any disease that inhibits circulation. What they discovered was that because of the increase flow of circulation, the patient would experience not only internal cleaning but external benefits that resulted in diminished cellulite through cleansing of the tissue.

Cellulite is a toxic body condition. In order to permanently eliminate cellulite, you must start at the source of the toxic body and detoxify internally. Toxins stored in the colon are carried into connective tissues, where they are deposited, forming cellulite. Causes of cellulite formation include imprisonment of waste material, toxic body and lifestyle, water retention, resulting in slowing down of the body’s waste removal system, hardening of the connective tissue, lack of blood, lymph and water flow through cellulite prone areas.

The treatment will start with your Louisville spa provider exfoliating the skin to rid the body of dead skin cells, to prep the skin for contouring cream. The cream is then applied over the body. This is when the lymphatic and circulatory flow is stimulated. The body will begin the removal toxins through the circulatory system and through the Kidneys. After the cream is applied you’ll be wrapped and placed on the massage table for about 45min. This treatment is very relaxing on its own, however, this is a time you may also add a service like a Hand, Foot and Scalp Treatment along with your wrap.

For best results a series of 3-6 body wraps is recommended with 4-7 days between each wrap. This is not a weight loss, but a permanent cellulite loss. The cellulite will only return if the client goes back to old habits. Eating the right foods, exercise and drinking 8 glasses of water per day are always recommended.
